pinky issue 5

THIS ISSUE IS CURRENTLY OPEN FOR PRE-ORDERS ONLY.
Orders will ship the week of March 28th, 2025.

the theme of pinky 5 is "code." girls who code. girls who created their own secret code. girls who learned to code switch. girl code, dress code — breaking either. using code to build shit, protect shit, or break the shit that's in your way. occasionally even using cheat codes, because equality =/= equity. this one's for the girls who used motherlode. the girls who taught themselves html to customize their tumblrs. the girls who learned the rules so they could break them.
